My work involves working with the victims of crime on a daily basis and I see first hand the devastating impact it has on the victims life. Working alongside the police and other agencies Crimestoppers offers help and support not only to the victims but also the community they live in. Calling Crimestoppers anonymously can be a great help when victims and the people around them are at there most vulnerable.

Another reason I'm running my first marathon is in memory of my dad who passed away in May. It has left a massive hole in my life, one which will never go away. Everything I do in my life is to make him proud and I think he will be proud of me when I cross that finish line on April 22nd
